Oh, it's not Luke Evans' performance that ruined it ... well, not specifically ...
See, Gaston was supposed to be huge. You know, kinda like Bluto (from Popeye), a real titan (like The Kraken (see picture) ... on a slightly smaller scale, but still able to believably battle The Beast hand-to-hand, rather than be a flimsy nothing without his gun).
But I saw 'the new Gaston's insufficiency' in the performance of "The Mob Song" https://youtu.be/TYO-qEb6MnI where the voice of 'the original Gaston' was appropriately operatic, where Luke Evans' voice was more like 'a boy-band member calling us to fight for the right to parrrr-tee' or 'a street-dancing gang-leader calling on the rest of "The Jets" to beat up "The Sharks."'
What Disney Studios should've done---the should've CGI-ed up Luke Evans so he really was "rough-ly the size of a barge," and should've auto-tuned his voice (in "The Mob Song") to sound more like an operatic aria.
you think?

But you know what I'm saying, how Gaston should've been more like 'a giant' (like the WWE's Big Show, but more 'muscular' and not so fat-lookin)?
almost like he & The Beast were mythological gods, so their 'finally meeting in battle' would be more epic
